Interview: The Melvins

The Melvins will have seen everything in their career. The rise of alternative music in the mainstream press; grunge (they hung out in Aberdeen, Washington – Kurt Cobain once auditioned for the band too, but failed to make it in when he forgot all the songs from nerves – though the Melvins' Dale Crover played the drums on Nirvana's Bleach); the major labels buying into counterculture for a while (the Melvins released some of their most well-known stuff on Atlantic – Houdini, Stoner Witch and Stag) but then being dumped; releasing dozens of albums in a variety of ways; and having the type of influence on a multitude of influential bands around the world that most musicians can only dream of. I talk to Dale Crover before a five-date tour with High on Fire around the country.
